My mother gave me this enamel charm approximately .5"x1". No markings. A very colorful and pretty enamel scene w/Mary and angels (ascension?). The back looks to be brass or bronze base metal - never cleaned. It's a very nice quality charm she received from her mother - which would date it back to the 1930's. I think it's older than that.

valentino97, 4 years agoThank you antiquaries - so easy to post 100 items on this friendly, helpful, loving site! I can't tell you how much I enjoy CW - and you - who understand the drive and obsession of beautiful old things. Not many in my family and friends ...REALLY get it.

valentino97, 4 years agoThank you my friend moonstone!! My birds are well....I will call you. I don't like talking on the phone....which of course is a big problem, but I need to catch up and talk to you about your book. Thank you for your congrats! Xoxoxo too - kisses and hugs to you and your family.

Manikin, 4 years agoAnother beauty ! I guess I am slow I miss so many wonderful posts !***

valentino97, 4 years agoThank you Manikin! My mom has some really great 1940's-50's 14-16"? manikin dolls w/patterns and clothes meant for me. They were her dolls so I want her to look at them as long as she can. I suppose a niece could snag them before me - I'm far away...so I'll ask her to take some pictures just in case. That will give her a project beside the pictures of our ancestors I keep bugging her to find....I think she enjoys searching but needs a gentle nudge every month or so.

cameosleuth, 4 months agoAs you can tell from my user name, charms are not my usual beat, but I do have a charm bracelet, so thought I'd take a look.
My sleuthing to identify cameo subjects leads me all sorts of places & has led me to this image. It is the Immaculate Conception, probably based on one of the many versions by the painter Murillo, who was inspired by the one by Guido Reni.

valentino97, 4 months agoThank you cameosleuth for your ID. I think this was probably on a gold chain necklace originally.
